36. Couples often lose each other because of their busy lives: work, children, computers, and separate male/female activities.

37. Our brains are the only organ in the human body which do not self regulate, but need to be in connection with another brain for healing.
Sit face-to-face and gaze into your lover’s eyes in order to allow the limbic system to relax. This will bring you closer and create the deepest sort of intimacy. – Mary Kay Cocharo, LMFT
